"Xena and Gerald are back from overseas?"ask Mr. Lawrence to his assistant.
"Already, Big Master. Do you want to visit them?"ask Mr. Lawrence's assistant.
"The autumn is coming to an end. I'd like to talk about a family meeting with Xena" said Mr. Lawrence.
"Are you worried about something, sir?" The assistant saw an anxious scratch on Mr. Lawrence's face.
"My daughter is very loud. If he was determined no one could stop him. The marriage of the heir to the family is very important. The parents must have heard the news and investigated Gerald's background. Their thoughts are orthodox, I predict they won't admit to Gerald!" Master Lawrence let out a nervousness of his heart.
"But, Big Miss is unlikely to accept that, right?"
Mr. Lawrence sighed. "What I'm worried about isn't the old man. But, Xena. Now he's the head of the family. I'm afraid .. Xena changed Lawrence's family mat. I'm afraid he'll ignore Lawrence's history and family background."
Thought over and over again, Mr. Lawrence still could not find a way to calm his heart. Mr. Lawrence can only hope that Roxena does not lose control if the eldest living in the mountains does not accept Gerald as the daughter-in-law of the Lawrence family.
"Maybe you can express your concerns to Miss, Mister. I'm sure Miss must understand," rain assistant Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Lawrence looked up at the assistant. Seemed like to argue but not be.
Mr. Lawrence sighed softly. "I'll visit them tomorrow night."

"If Lady Stella proves rebellious, you will most likely be rewarded like a noble title. Will you be satisfied with that?"mr. Luz asked Roxena when they met at lunchtime. Actually they met not only for lunch but also for a scheduled meeting after lunch.
Roxena stopped her mouthful. Glancing at the smiling Mr. Luz awaited his reply.
Roxena put down her cutlery then stared intensely at Mr. Luz. Mr. Luz looked intimidated, he cleared his throat then looked straight ahead.
"My goal is not a title, an award, or anything like that. To be honest, I do not want to deal with the royal side, be it their daughter, heir to the throne, or the king and queen. I targeted him so he wouldn't touch Lawrence Group! It would be best if Jonathan Esca was involved in it!"respond to cold Roxena.
"Although the ESA Group is large, they will think twice if they want to join the coup" Luz said. Then he looked back at Roxena. "I think you can already predict it."
Roxena grunted softly. "Stop talking about this, Mr. Luz!"

"How do you go about conquering Lawrence Group, Nathan?"
Tonight, Lady Stella and Jonathan have dinner together. They met at a five-star restaurant that was already a subscription. The princess's bodyguards and Jonathan waited outside. This room is soundproof, a place that is quite free to talk about many things.
"The woman is so tough and clever, Stella. He uses his power to help clients who want to leave. From the beginning I joined ESA Group, this was the first time I felt overwhelmed and scared" Jonathan said.
ESA Group is faltering. His head felt like it wanted to break faced with the reports and demands of officials to prevent clients continue to disappear. Though it was not his fault why was he the one being charged?!
"The snake woman is a real threat. We must destroy it immediately!"stella said. The hatred for Roxena is growing.
"In strength it will take a long time to bring it down. But, you are some small tricks to speed it up!" Jonathan smiled cunningly.
"Say!"
Jonathan was still smiling until his eyes narrowed. Then I looked at Stella. "This trick ... can only be done by you!"said Jonathan.
"Me?" Jonathan asks Stella to come closer, whispering a plan to Stella.
"This …." Stella is stunned by Jonathan's plan. He laughed shortly. Her pretty face looked terrible as she chalked a smile on her lips. His eyes were sharp and full of ambition.
A plan has been created!
The guy laughed together. Laugh at the plans and also the shadow of success they can already see. "Name the genius of the Esca Group you deserve, Nathan!"
"Thank you for your praise, Lady." Jonathan kissed Stella's back.
"If I'm happy ... can I get a gift for my idea?"ask with a serious face. His eyes radiated an unstoppable desire.
"You're really sneaky, Nathan!" Stella doesn't mind. He replied with a spoiled tone.
Jonathan smiled with satisfaction.
Throne and woman I'll have it! This woman came and offered me a deal. With the guarantee of status as well as body, as a reasonable businessman if I bet. Too bad, he thinks I don't know what he really means. Stella you're a fox. But, why are you so innocent?

"The selection results have come out, miss. They all passed" Erin said on her way home.
"When are you going to induct them?"
"You're more relaxed than ever. Have you prepared a task for them?"
Roxena smiled. Thanks to Luxury, it has a mining company with large reserves. Thanks to Ferrum, he was able to expand and carry out armament innovations. And thanks to that nameless organization, he increased the number of talented people within Light and Shadow.
The hundred people passed also there was a slight interference from him.
"How's the Capital Group investigation?"roxena asked to change the subject.
"I'm sorry, Miss. We had a hard time scraping through information and finding reproaches at Capital Group. We need a little longer, miss."
Roxena grunted softly. Erin was already sweating coldly. Yesterday they failed to find Regis. But, fate leads them to meet.
"No need to rush. Your opponent is Regis. The smartest man I've ever known."
Erin was a little relieved. It's just, it doesn't mean he's calm. Behind those words was an affirmation. They need to work harder.
"Miss …." Erin braved herself.
"Hm."
"Do you love Mr Regis?"ask Erin carefully. Honestly since returning from Luxembourg, Erin wondered. Why didn't Roxena do something to Regis? If they love, at least they talk about the past, right? Then ended the relationship with Gerald. But, why is Gerald getting sticky on Roxena? And samar is also the opposite.
"Even though I've been through dozens of lives, and almost spent my sanity ... here ..the love for her never changed." Roxena said as she touched her chest. His eyes were tightly shut, as if he was feeling his heart beating for Regis.
"Then what about Sir? Don't you have feelings for her?" Erin asked the same question a while back.
"Maybe." Respond with uncertainty.
"Forget it. Unpleasant brings two feelings when returning home to one of the houses," Roxena breaks up.
Erin smiled broadly at hearing that.
Not likely. Unless definitely.

"Dad?" Mr. Lawrence who was chatting with Gerald turned his head.
"You're home yet? Come and sit here" said Mr. Lawrence patting the side of the sofa beside him.
"What are you coming for?"ask Roxena to the point.
"Don't do it, Xena. I came here because I missed you. Any reason for father and son to meet? Even if Father staying with us is a natural thing," Gerald scolded unhappily. Roxena stared fiercely at Gerald. Honey, Gerald ignored him.
"really. You are my daughter. No reason to meet you. Why did you just come back anyway?" Mr. Lawrence became fierce instantly. Roxena who was still standing widened her eyes.
"I know you're not familiar with homework. But, how could your husband cook dinner and you come home so late? Aren't you thinking about how she feels? Xena, think back, you're a wife after all. Then ... how can you immediately have children if you rarely meet like this?"tell Mr. Lawrence, by pointing at Roxena and defending Gerald. Roxena piqued her lips. And for some reason, he couldn't go against those words.
"Dad, don't be angry. Xena works hard to keep the family strong. I, who is only a doctor and weak, can only wait for him while cooking dinner lovingly. I'm not asking Xena to do a wife's job. I just want him to be okay" Gerald said, staring at Gerald with his feelings.
Roxena widened her eyes hearing and seeing that. The way Gerald got his father's heart, and pretended like this .. great! Roxena pulled a smile. It was unexpected that Gerald could play sneaky as well.
I'll respond.
"Gosh, Dad! How can you tell me that? I want to go home fast, do you know that during my work I miss my husband so much? How could you say that I was mean to do it on purpose?" Roxena's expression changed drastically. He even walked up to Mr. Lawrence and hugged his father's arm.
Gerald coughed in disbelief. Mr. Lawrence is confused. "Then do you want your dear son-in-law poisoned by eating my cooking? My cooking skills are down from Mom, Dad!"whinek Roxena, looked up at Mr. Lawrence who was running out of words.
Mr. Lawrence remembered once that his wife's cooking was very unpleasant. Somehow how to cook it, even though it has learned from expert chefs still nothing has changed.
"All right, Dad?" Roxena rolled her eyes.
"Yes, really! Gerald's cooking ability is excellent. There's Lily and Sophia too, you don't have to step in to do homework."
"Hehe." Roxena smiled.
Then ... about the child .. Roxena grimly remembers it.
"Dad, Xena and I tried our best to have children soon. You don't have to worry. Actually, Xena expected more of that" Gerald said in defense of his wife. He had already moved, pulling Roxena to lean on him.
"If so I'm relieved to hear it."
"Then let's eat, then" Gerald asked. Time has shown at 20:00.
He headed to the dining table. The familiar aroma in Roxena. The aroma of Gerald cuisine. The boy and the father ate very well. Relieved and happy to be able to give a little happiness through dishes. Gerald had already made his decision, he had to cook more often for Roxena.
"Xena, there's actually some stuff I need to talk to you about." Mr. Lawrence said as he glanced at Gerald, asking Gerald to leave the two of them.
"Ah I have something to do. Xena, talk to Daddy!"
Gerald hurried away. "What's up, Dad?"
